About Me

Indiana. Oh Indiana. I grew up here – playing, studying, & watching basketball since I was first able to dribble a ball. Whether it was at a gym, on a playground, at a park, or on my neighbor’s gorilla goal I had time for this game. However, it was 1999 as a freshman in Bloomington, when I got to first experience basketball fever. The deafening roar of the crowd with every long 3-pointer made, the heart pounding adrenaline with every thunderous dunk, the ultimate euphoria with every victory, and the utter hopelessness with every defeat. These emotions had me addicted instantly. And because of it I will always respect everything that was & is IU Basketball. Tradition is not a word here it is a way. And it’s a long way up those stairs to the balcony of Assembly Hall. And it’s worth every step to come experience the glory of Indiana basketball. Oh Indiana. I’m all for you.

Back for a Banner!


It’s been over 6 months since any material of any kind has been posted.  I have been pouting over the UK loss – damn I hate those Kats.  But it’s time.  We are less than 2 weeks away from Hoosier Hysteria.  We could be the preseason #1 team.  And expectations from the Hoosier Nation probably haven’t been this high since 92.  I’m excited.  I’m pumped.  I’m ready to go.  And I’m back.

Over the next couple weeks we will cover topics ranging from starting lineups, rotations, impact of the incoming class, and key take-aways from last season’s resurgence.  Also, to complement the blog this year, I will leverage some today’s social media such as YouTube & Facebook.  Once the pages & channels have been created (hopefully in the next couple days) I will post those as well.

Let me know if there is any specific topic you want me to cover prior to November.  Open Forum.  This is the year.  Our year.  And we want another banner!
